Junior goalkeeper Erick Zarzecki played until the 50-minute mark and allowed only three goals while stopped eight shots. e win continues the Cavaliers lengthy winning streak against CSAC opponents, stretching it to 88 straight games. ey are 5-0 against CSAC opponents this season. e win also gives the Cavaliers a 10-game winning streak overall. Since starting the season at 1-2, the Cavs are now 11-2. e Cavaliers, ranked sixth overall in the nation, have one remaining CSAC game on Saturday, April 28, against GwyneddMercy College. It is also their regular-season nale. e CSAC tournament starts on Wednesday, May 2. If the Cavaliers keep their CSAC win streak alive, they will return to the tournament as the top seed. e Cavs are in search of their 12th straight CSAC title. e Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks and their ilk have languished in the unhappy middle for the past decade or more and now it seems the Sixers nd themselves mired in the same tar pit of mediocrity.

For everyone else and notably the 76ers, basketball purgatory. Too good to bottom out, not talented enough to truly compete. is has been the case for the 7-6 since that ill-fated championship run. Since then, we’ve never picked higher than 9th overall (netting us Andre Iguodala, not exactly a savior). And not having a true “leader” since Iverson left.

So, after the Sixers started the season white hot and then promptly regressed back to the pack to enter the playo s as either the 7 or 8 seed, and likely exit 5-6 games later, no I am not happy. is reeks of last season, last decade. Losing sucks but mediocrity abides. Someone press the restart already.
